In every area of practice, WilmerHale brings the insight, dedication to excellence, and commitment to client service needed for our clients to achieve their business objectives. Our five-department structure and team approach to service enable us to provide the highest level of responsiveness and access to lawyers with the most appropriate experience.

Our lawyers have been involved in some of the most notable public cases, as well as numerous non-public cases and key developments related to FCPA and anti-corruption issues.

WilmerHale's award-winning team has been involved in FCPA and related anti-corruption issues since the enactment of the FCPA statute in the United States and the government investigations that triggered its passage. Outside of the United States, our practice includes experienced anti-corruption lawyers in the United Kingdom (UK Anti-Bribery Act) and Germany, and we have extensive experience dealing with anti-corruption and related issues in a broad range of other jurisdictions. Our team offers extensive knowledge in all aspects of the field—government and internal investigations, risk assessments, M&A and strategic transactions, and ad hoc counseling. Our approach to client service repeatedly earns recognition, and our lawyers authored the leading treatise in the field, Complying with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, now in its ninth edition. Our work spans a range of industries, including financial and professional services; energy, oil and gas; pharmaceutical, medical devices and healthcare; media; technology; defense and aerospace; and manufacturing.
